log_connections cannot be set on Azure PostgreSQL Flexible Server

Question

While attempting to turn on the "log_connections" server parameter on an Azure Flexible Server PostgreSQL instance, I receive an error (from terraform):

Error: waiting for create/update of Flexible Server Configuration: (Configuration Name "log_connections" / Flexible Server Name "<name>" / Resource Group "<resourcegroup>"): Code="OperationFailed" Message="{0}"

The parameter is also greyed out in the Azure Portal and marked as "read-only". Logging connections is often a compliance action for companies. Is it not supported by Azure Flexible server?

Hi @Gupta, Abhik , thanks for your patience. We have received the reply back from product team.

This is intentional as we want to make sure all connections are logged and intercepted to make sure connections are coming in from right sources for security reasons. This is different for Single Server and Flexible Server and this information will be updated in article/documents at the earliest.
